Spain defeated Uruguay with a narrow 0-1 victory, securing passage to the next phase of the 2026 World Cup. The Spanish national team, often referred to as “La Roja,” managed the win despite controlling much of the game’s possession, though their attacking opportunities were limited. The decisive goal for Spain was scored by defender Alex Baene.
He capitalized on a difficult scoring chance, netting a goal that the Uruguayan goalkeeper was unable to save, despite having attempted a save. Spain continued to generate attacking pressure in the second half, with players like Ferran Torres hitting the crossbar and Dani Olmo posing threats, although these efforts did not result in further goals. This win solidifies Spain’s position as the leader of Group H with seven points, ensuring their advancement in the tournament.
Conversely, Uruguay concludes their campaign with only two points, meaning they will not advance from the group stage of the World Cup. The result marks a significant step forward for the Spanish squad in the global football competition.
